Colorado River Bridge

I didn't see another thread on this one, so I'll start it.

I'm looking forward to this. Sometimes it can take two hours to get across the damn dam.

It will take longer to construct the bridge than it did to build the dam.

About 1,600-feet out in front of Hoover Dam and almost two-hundred feet higher.
